Li Zhi walked out of the airport hall with her suitcase. It had been almost a year since she left Hong Kong. Her mood had changed a lot when she stepped on this land again.
A year ago, Li Zhi was just a mainland girl who was discriminated against by Hong Kong people, but now she is an international student at the University of San Francisco in the United States.
Although it was only a year later, Li Zhi's vision has been countless times wider. After experiencing the prosperity and modern baptism of American cities, he is even more eager to make a name for himself.
Li Zhi originally wanted to take a taxi home by himself, but he didn't expect that he was intercepted by a woman in her thirties at the entrance of the airport lobby. The woman smiled at her and said: Are you Miss Li Zhi?
Li Zhi looked at her vigilantly and asked: Who are you?
The woman explained: Hello Miss Li, my name is Jin Mengli, I am an employee of Oriental Entertainment Company, and I will serve as your partner assistant from now on.
Li Zhi quickly realized that this woman must have been arranged by Kang Jianfei for her. She felt a little proud and flattered. She said: I haven't signed up for the competition yet, is it not appropriate to have an assistant around me?
No problem, I just joined Oriental Entertainment Company, and few people knew me. Jin Mengli explained, "To the outside world, you just say that we are cousins, and I will help you with all the matters participating in the beauty pageant."
Li Zhi nodded, followed Jin Mengli into a business car and asked: What are the links in the beauty pageant?
Jin Mengli introduced: Registration, selection, interview, shortlist, training, location and finals, Miss Li, you will definitely be shortlisted. I will inform you in advance about the questions during the interview and finals. Just show your beautiful side.
Isn't that just cheating throughout the whole process?
Although Li Zhi longs to become famous, she still has a kind of pride in her bones and is very disgusted with this kind of cheating.
Because she felt that she looked no worse than other women and had a smarter mind than many women. After all, she was admitted to the University of San Francisco with her own abilities, and she could win awards in beauty pageants even if she didn't cheat.
Jin Mengli smiled and said: Cheating depends on your ability. You are the person Mr. Kang wants to support, and only you have this qualification.In addition to the formal competition process, you also have to cooperate with the beauty pageant to hype and create some eye-catching gimmicks.
What gimmick?Li Zhi asked.
Jin Mengli explained: The hype will begin during the interview.We have now formulated a basic operation plan. It is best not to speak Cantonese too standard during the interview, so that the interviewer will mock you.Then when he makes things difficult for you, you use words to fight back smartly, which will better show your wisdom.Some exciting scenes of the interview will be played on the TV station so that you can become famous before being shortlisted.The TV station will follow these shortlisted contestants in depth and report in depth. We will then take advantage of the situation to dig out the high education you are studying at the University of San Francisco in the United States, and we can hype it up.Before the final, Feng Huáng Station will provoke public opinion conflicts about sympathy and discrimination against mainland girls for you, and you will become the focus of public opinion. The discriminatory treatment you received for odd jobs in Hong Kong before will be discovered.Finally, there is the final. At that time, you will design a very eye-catching program for you. Until you win the championship, Fenghuáng Station will hype up the ups and downs of your childhood and struggle unremittingly in your growth, and build you into a great beauty who continues to grow and mature in adversity, combining kindness, gentleness, wisdom and beauty.
After hearing Jin Mengli's call, Li Zhi felt more and more that she was just a vase at the mercy of others. This time she returned to Hong Kong from the United States to participate in the beauty pageant, thinking about how to perform well, but she didn't expect that the road she was going to take had been paved.
Li Zhi was sent home by Jin Mengli in a daze. When she was about to finish, she gave her an registration form for the beauty pageant. After Li Zhi filled it out, she then took a photo and posted it.
While Li Zhi was filling out the form in a complicated mood, Fang Yihua calmly put down the Ming Pao in his hand because of a message on the advertising page of this issue of Ming Pao:
The Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant is a beauty pageant jointly created by Feng Huáng Chinese Channel, together with Oriental Daily, Commercial Radio, Oriental Dream Factory and other units.The top eight of the participating beauties will get the opportunity to sign a contract from Oriental Entertainment Company. Mr. Kang Jianfei will tailor a movie or record for the beauty pageant champion...
The Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant is not limited to age or nationality. Any woman who is confident in her own charm can register for the competition. The registration deadline is April 30, 1984.
Sitting in front of Fang Yihua's desk was Hong Miǎ, the head of this Miss Hong Kong Competition. He said confidently: Manager Fang, we don't need to worry at all.After Miss Hong Kong’s success, there were at least dozens or hundreds of beauty pageants in Hong Kong, all of which one can compare with our Miss Hong Kong?
This time it’s different. The Miss Oriental beauty pageant is supported by TV stations and film companies, so don’t take it lightly.
Fang Yihua warned that she actually believed that Miss Hong Kong's status would not be threatened by Miss Oriental, but she was inexplicably vigilant about Kang Jianfei.
The Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has attracted so much attention that countless young and beautiful women are flocking to sign up. In addition to being promoted by TVB to be a star, the most eye-catching thing is that the Miss Hong Kong champion married into a wealthy family and became a young grandmother.
Six years ago, Hong Kong sister Zhu Lingling married into the Huo family. The Huo family gave the woman 10 million gifts and held 360 tables of banquets. At that time, the whole of Hong Kong was sensation.
Such an inspirational story of Cinderella becoming Snow White has attracted many girls to fly into the flames, and has brought countless topics of conversation after dinner to Hong Kong citizens.
However, Kang Jianfei, relying on Feng Huáng TV and DreamWorks, can also provide the wings of dreams for girls who are eager to become famous. If they continue to develop for a long time, they will definitely separate the attention of Miss Hong Kong.
Hong Miǎ came up with an idea: The beauty pageant of Miss Hong Kong is just the process, and no matter how new it changes, it will no longer be created.If you want to suppress the beauty pageant on Feng Huáng Taiwan, you can only start from the other party.
Don't do it randomly.Fang Yihua waved her hand and said that last time she ruthlessly slandered Chen Xiuwen and Feng Huángtai. Afterwards, Run Run Shaw sternly warned her not to have another second time.
It’s not a mess, Hong Miǎ smiled and said, Manager Fang, look at the registration conditions of Miss Dongfang, which are not limited to age or nationality. Let’s find a few old and ugly people to register.If they fail the selection and interview, let these women make trouble, and the beauty pageant over there will definitely become a laughing stock.
Fang Yihua said angrily: What's your trick?No use at all.
Hong Miǎ said: Why is it useless?After Miss Oriental’s fuss came out, even an old and ugly woman could sign up. Isn’t it just that she is one level lower than our Miss Hong Kong?Then we will buy newspapers to make sarcasm and build up the public opinion momentum to see if they can continue to do it.
Fang Yihua nodded in thought: Although it is useless, it can still make Feng Huáng's ugly.
Hong Miǎ said again: And among the shortlisted contestants, find one or two unclean pasts and expose their scandals.
Fang Yihua frowned. She was afraid that she would do it too much. Kang Jianfei would make the Hong Kong lady slander. After thinking for a while, she said: You must do it more concealedly. Just send the scandal materials to those newspapers anonymously. TVB must not show up.Moreover, those scandals must be based on real evidence and cannot be slandered out of nothing.
Manager Fang, don’t worry, there are always one or two unclean players in the finals. Hong Miǎ said with a smile. Then, after the newspapers, the Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant will become a place where dirt is hidden.
Fang Yihua closed his eyes and said nothing. This kind of trick was just a temporary choice. What really determines the winning or losing is the strength of each other.
The biggest reliance of Miss Hong Kong is the reputation and social influence accumulated over the past decade. The upcoming Miss Oriental beauty pageant that Feng Huáng Taiwan will hold is mainly supported by Feng Huáng Taiwan and DreamWorks.
So what if the Miss Oriental beauty pageant is ruined?
As long as you have the opportunity to make movies, TV series and become a big star, there will still be girls who will sign up for the competition. At worst, you can change your name to the beauty pageant next year.
The reason why Fang Yihua agreed to Hong Miǎ's idea was that after making Miss Oriental bad, Miss Hong Kong's supreme status could be preserved, which represents the image and cultural style of Hong Kong.
After the filming was finished, it was almost noon. The foods such as foie gras, steak and other foods used as shooting props were just for extra meals to the crew.
Kang Jianfei was also eating with a boxed lunch himself, and a piece of steak was also served in the pile of rice. As he was eating, Zeng Bolin came over with a few newspapers and said: Boss, the promotion of the beauty pageant was done very well. Although it received less attention than the Miss Hong Kong competition, it was also known to everyone.It has only been three days now, and 107 registrations have been received, which is more than the number of Hong Kong Miss.only……
Just what?Kang Jianfei asked while eating.
Zeng Bolin said laughing and crying: But among the applicants, many girls are already in their thirties, and even have aunts in their forties.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: I'm not afraid of many people signing up, but no one cares about it.What's the problem with being old? Just remove the selection process. She is really charming and charming. Even if she is 50 years old, she can be shortlisted, and she can be just enough to take the opportunity to hype it up.
Zeng Bolin took out a "Sing Tao Daily" and handed it to Kang Jianfei and said: You should read this report.
Kang Jianfei glanced at the newspaper and saw that the title of this article was "Beauty Pageant or Aunt Club?"》:
If you want to talk about the most successful businessman in Hong Kong in the past decade, it is not Li XX or Huo XX, but Mr. Kang Jianfei, a swimming athlete who came from the mainland.Not only is his entertainment career in full swing, he heard that he had also entered the real estate industry some time ago and bought many land properties in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon...
Just a few days ago, Mr. Kang Jianfei made new moves. This time he actually challenged Miss Hong Kong, as if he wanted to share the beauty pageant.
But Mr. Kang's Miss Oriental beauty pageant seemed to be in a hurry, and its registration rules were missing. Not only did it not limit the nationality of the applicant, but there was no requirement for age.
Our reporter saw a jaw-dropping scene at the registration site of Miss Oriental’s Central yesterday. Four women older than the author’s mother, wearing heavy makeup, handed over their registration form, were actually collected by the staff at the registration site. Should Feng Huáng Taiwan choose “Miss Oriental” or “Aunt Dongfang”?
After reading the article roughly, Kang Jianfei laughed and said to Zeng Bolin: Unexpectedly, the "Sing Tao Daily" took the initiative to cooperate, which saved me a lot of effort.You go to the TV station to take this opportunity to provoke a war of public opinion and find a few feminists to do the show. You must make things bigger and shift the topic from Miss Oriental's unlimited age to feminist rights. It is necessary to arouse the common hatred of all women in Hong Kong, and shape Feng Huáng and Miss Oriental into feminist defenders.
This is OK?Zeng Bolin opened his mouth wide and looked at Kang Jianfei. He could even lean on feminism.
Why can't it work?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Aunt isn't a woman?"Can't Aunt love beauty?Which one was not born to my mother? When my mother gets older, she can’t love beauty and can’t participate in beauty pageants?Our Miss Oriental beauty pageant is about making slogans. Beauty has no age, and Aunt may also be the beauty pageant champion!
Zeng Bolin sweated wildly and said: The boss is right, I will go to the TV station to pass the message immediately.
Mao Shunjun held the lunch box and gave Kang Jianfei a thumbs up, chewing the food and said vaguely: The director said this well. No matter how old a woman is, she has the right to pursue beauty and love beauty.
Ye Zimèi also echoed: It's Ah. If I hadn't signed into the company, I would have planned to participate in the beauty pageant.
Kang Jianfei transformed into a friend of women at this time and said righteously: Women are an important part of society. They have to handle housework, have children, take care of their husbands and children, and even many modern women have to make money like men to support their families.I think society should give women more respect, especially those older women who can also step out of the kitchen and stand on the beauty pageant stage.
Ye Zimèi looked at Kang Jianfei admirably and couldn't help but applaud.
Some crew members who knew about Kang Jianfei’s affair could only express their admiration for the director in their hearts: It’s so shameless!
A year ago, Li Zhi was just a mainland girl who was discriminated against by Hong Kong people, but now she is an international student at the University of San Francisco in the United States.
